Description
TITLE: Honey Bear
DIMENSIONS: 300 x 175 cm
MEDIUM: Acrylic on canvas
YEAR: 2020
ARTIST: FoW Collective
One of the most striking pieces of the show, the Honey Bear was at the center of “The Spirit of the Beehive” and “Colony Collapse Disorder”, immersive rooms created by Food of War for Proposition Studios’ “TERRA NEXUS” in South Bermondsey and The Southbank in London.
The beekeepers were praying to this bear, an iconic image of the marketed honey thus reflecting a disconnection between consumer and produce, so characteristic of current consumption trends. Bold in colors and in concept, this big format piece is hard to ignore, like Food of War.
